Japanese Professor Atsuyuki Yamataka praised the high
level of pediatric surgery in Kazakhstan. The world-renowned specialist in the
treatment of congenital malformations in children also highlighted the strong
professional training of domestic doctors. This marks his second visit to
Astana, where he is conducting unique masterclasses for local medical
professionals. Over the course of a week, Professor Yamataka will work
alongside surgeons from City Children’s Hospital No. 2, performing complex
urological and proctological surgeries.
«Every time I visit Kazakhstan, I am impressed by the
progress being made in healthcare here. Doctors are committed to constantly
gaining new knowledge, which is very important. They have all the necessary
equipment here. This morning, we performed surgery on a young patient with a
congenital condition, and fortunately, we were able to provide the necessary
treatment. Most importantly, we need to maintain regular contact and share experience,»
noted Atsuyuki Yamataka, MD, Director of the Tokyo
Surgical Clinic.
«Our doctors also travel abroad to exchange their experience.
Even when treating the same condition, new techniques are being developed. Some
of the methods are minimally invasive, meaning they do not require large incisions,
while others are aimed at helping patients recover more quickly,» said Dinat Kozhekenov, Deputy Director, Astana Multidisciplinary
City Children’s Hospital No. 2
